REVENUE REDUCTION.

The Attitude of the Republicans aud the
Men Who stand with Mr.. Randall.
Special to the indianapolis Journal
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 1I-If there Is any tariff
reform by this Congress there will be internal
tax reform. While quite a number of Rspub-
licans in the House are in favor OF moderate
reduction of the tariff on manufactured
articles, they at the time demand
q reduction of the tax on tobacco and
domestic Installations It is safe to predict
that a bill making a total reduction of
the government income to aggregate of about
$40, 900 900 $50, 600, 900 could pass the House
by compromise among Republicans and Randall
Democrats; but these men will demand that rot
only the plain necessaries of life be affected, but
that the internal taxes be reduced. and there is
no use Of talking about a compromise. A bill
which makes reduction of say $40. 900. 900 will
have to affect the customs dues in about the
same proportion as it does internal taxes. The
Republicans and tariff protection Democrats
will not consent to any Wholesale reform like
that proposed by Mr. Mills, of Texas who is to
be chairman of tho House committee on ways
and means
In the Senate could name a number OF Dem
ocrats who will not vote for bill reducing the
customs dues and not touching the internal
taxes. The Republicans in that body stand in
about the same attitude toward the tariff pro-
lection that those in the House do Many of
the Southern Senators anxious for a
duction of the internal taxes they for
reduction of the customs dues. and they know il
the latter is affected to any considerable degree
without touching the former that the internal
taxes will be permitted to stand for
many years. and the internal taxes
really more burdensome to the people
of the South than the free-traders find the i'm
port dues, because they use a great deal of to-
bacco, while they patronlze the imports to
much less extent than the people of the North.
Besides this. they striving to build up their
fruit brandy and wine industry, and these would
be stimulated by the abolition of the internal
taxes imposed upon them. Local interests were
never brought forward to greater extent in the
of tariff and internal taxes than at
present, and every man intends to look out for
his own districts interest in whatever ne does.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-If it were not for the

Craftsmanship OF appropriations to a man in ac-.
cord with the party in its efforts to lower the
tariff. There Is good deal of half-suppressed
cursing tonight, and if the free-rraders in the
